Question

is it easier to climb a mountain on a zigzag path or the one straight up the side, is your increase in gravitational potential energy same in both eases?​

Answer 1

Is your increase in gravitational potential energy the same in both cases? Is your energy consumption the same in both? Yes . Zigzag path is easier to climb the mountain because work is doing along a longer path and gravitational pull for each step is less for longer distance so, it requires less force at any instant

Answer 2

Answer:

same pe........

Explanation:

because height of same in both condition

potential energy equal to MGH

hence h is same them potential energy is same
